'Successfully practice the Huo family's marksmanship once, and gain proficiency +1. '

Shen Ling, who was engrossed, didn't hear Huo Lao's praise, but was just practicing hard.

In the past two months, due to too many things and less time for cultivation, Shen Ling hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.

Cultivation is a very happy thing.

Especially when watching the proficiency rise little by little, this kind of happiness will be doubled.

After a while, Shen Ling slowly put away the wooden stick and opened his eyes.

The Huo family's marksmanship has officially entered the first level.

at this time.

Huo Lao was correcting other young and strong postures, his tone was a little irritable, and his voice was a little louder.

Shen Ling walked out of the South Square slowly.

Don't bother those young adults who are practicing.

actually.

Shen Ling also thought about riding a horse, galloping recklessly between the fields and grasslands, feeling the wind passing by, feeling the unbridled freedom.

However, this thing, which was easy to do, changed after Huniu's arrival.

He can only ride a tiger now.

Can't ride a horse.

After walking on the street for a while, Shen Ling returned to his house.

Before he could have a mouthful of hot food, Da Zhuang hurried over: "Master, something happened, the village head is sick."

sick!

Shen Ling's eyes froze, and a bad premonition instantly emerged.

"Go and see."

He hurried out of the yard, and soon came to the residence of the old village chief.

However, when he entered the house.

The old village chief has lost his temper.

Looking at the old village head who left with a kind face, Shen Ling was silent for a while: "In three days, I will be buried."

...

The old village head left.

The post of village head was thus vacated.

All of a sudden, things big and small in the village got into some trouble.

Without the coordination and decision-making of the village chief, some things cannot be decided.

"Mr. Yang."

In the afternoon, Shen Ling visited the academy in the village.

Yang Jian, who was cleaning the courtyard, saw Shen Ling, and immediately said, "Mr. Shen, come here when you have time, please come in quickly."

Shen Ling walked into the academy, looked at Yang Jian and said in a deep voice, "I'm here this time because I want to discuss something with Mr. Yang."

Yang Jian said softly, "Say it."

Shen Ling took a deep breath and said slowly, "I hope Mr. Yang can take over the post of village head in Dian Village."

For Shen Ling, it was actually a bit difficult to speak about this matter.

After all, Yang Jian's family was entrusted by Miss Qin to resettle them, and they did not belong to the villagers.

In addition, Yang Jian was a high-ranking state shepherd of Chongzhou not long ago, and now he wants the former state shepherd to become a village head.

This may seem a bit fanciful.

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and smiled: "To tell you the truth, I don't want to be an official anymore. Now I teach and clean the academy every day. It feels much easier than when I was an official."

A look of disappointment flashed on Shen Ling's face.

Although he didn't have high expectations, but apart from Yang Jian, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Today's tenant farms are too large, with not just a few hundred people, but 20,000 people.

He needs a talent who can manage 20,000 people.

However, just when Shen Ling was about to give up, things took a turn for the better.

Yang Jian was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Well, I will temporarily take the post of village chief. After Mr. Shen finds a suitable candidate, the old man will let him out."

Shen Ling looked at Yang Jian, nodded and said, "Then thank you Mr. Yang."

Yang Jian's answer made Shen Ling a little happy.

He looked at Yang Jian and said softly, "Then I will make arrangements now, and you will take over the management of Dian Village from tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ling turned around and left in a hurry.

After Shen Ling left, a pretty woman poked her head quietly behind the academy.

The woman walked to Yang Jian's side and said softly, "Father, didn't you say that you didn't want to be an official anymore? Why did you agree to Mr. Shen to take over as the village chief?"

Yang Jian shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I'm just helping Mr. Shen."

"help?"

Yang Yun was full of doubts.

Yang Jian nodded: "This village was originally only a place where tenant farmers lived. It was very ordinary with only a few dozen households. But now, because Mr. Shen is kind-hearted and has accepted too many displaced people, this village has become somewhat Overwhelmed."

Yang Yun asked suspiciously: "Isn't the village building houses all the time? I heard that Mr. Shen personally divided the area."

Yang Jian nodded in disbelief: "That's true, but the development speed of the current tenant villages can no longer keep up with the speed of accepting refugees. If things go on like this, no matter how rich Mr. Shen is, I'm afraid he won't be able to afford it."

"Then what should we do?" Yang Yun asked, "Are we going to abandon those villagers who can no longer go home?"

Yang Jian nodded: "Normally, that's true."

"However, there is actually another way."

"That is division and land reclamation."

Yang Jian spoke with confidence. In fact, he has been observing Shen Ling and Dian Village these days.

I also have some thoughts about the current situation in the tenant village.

But he knew that he was just an outsider, so he spoke rashly and was afraid that Shen Ling would be suspicious.

But now, he is about to act as the village head temporarily.

It's okay to talk about it.

"segmentation?"

Shen Ling raised his head and looked at Yang Jian.

At this time, it has been a day since he visited the academy.

"Um."

Yang Jian nodded, and then handed Shen Ling a piece of paper.

This is a sketch drawn with a brush, with patterns of several small houses on it.

Pointing to the sketch, Yang Jian said, "I think we should take the tenant village as the core and build a few more villages around it instead of concentrating all the refugees in the tenant village. This is more convenient for management."

"At the same time, since the distance between the villages is not too far, they can still fight each other. In this way, we only need to increase the manpower of the Pu Dao team, and everything else can be as usual."

Shen Ling looked at the sketch and thought about it.

He did understand what Yang Jian said. According to his understanding, it was to build some satellite-like villages around the Dian countryside.

But in this way, the area defended by the Pudao team will be much larger.

It is better to establish multiple camp-style villages.

Shen Ling felt feasible.

Although the number of villages has increased, the patrol distance has also become farther.

There are still many horses in the village of Kedian, and there are also light cavalry who are undergoing training.

This distance is fine.

"Then do as Mr. Yang wants."

It is one of Shen Ling's strengths to be good at accepting other people's opinions.

He smiled at Yang Jian, and then said softly, "It's my good fortune to have Mr. Yang's help."

Yang Jian smiled: "Young Master Shen, you are being polite."

Shen Ling didn't know, if he hadn't saved Yang Yun's life that time, Yang Jian really didn't want to agree to his request.

But now, everything is moving in a good direction.
